~ Blathering about games

A quick virtual word

Popping in here out of my regular posting schedule to add to my previous post.

I recently purchased TableTop Simulator for my PC and I’ve been fiddling around with it and while there’s a bit of a learning curve to it, it’s no different than using Vassal for the first time.

How this relates to my earlier post is that there are two High Frontier mods for it which you can find Here and Here.

The second link is a more automated version of the game designed for playing the CEO solitaire variant of the game, which is what I will be playing in next week’s posts. All my pictures there are from Cyberboard, yet ANOTHER way to play this great game (which you can get Here in case you are a completionist), so as I said, there is no reason for you not to give this a try.

Tabletop Simulator costs $19.99 on Steam, but I was able to find a sale for it for $9.99, so if you are patient you can find it for sale again, I’m sure. So far it appears worth the price. And if I’m able to play a multiplayer game with a few of my readers? Well, then that’s money well spent!

Oh sure, there’s a learning curve in everything we do. The point I’m trying to put across is simply to play the thing. There’s so much vitriol about the kickstarter not being the perfect end-all-be-all version of the game that it was advertised to be and a lot of people are going to miss out on a fantastic game because they’ll feel they are somehow being cheated out of the experience because the bits with the game aren’t as shiny or perfect.

I say play the game. There is a bunch of ways of doing it, and it’s worth the effort. Don’t pass up the opportunity because it’s not the perfect opportunity.
